She bad been taken up in March, and been its pris at ever since. She and her hus band were living at Godalming at this time. It was dark about five o'clock, on the 10th of February. She never made an improper ap l .ointnient except once. fQ. What was there in this once I—A. I have dune a great deal of harm by it.] (The witness here could scarcely answer, being overpowered by her feeling.) Her husband was to have met Chalcraft at six. She set off from her husband's at nine o'clock; her has hand had left her about six o'clock. (The Common Serjeant was proceeding to question the witness about her husband, when be was stopt by the Court, as what she might say might criminate him. It was then mentioned on the part of the Counsel for the defence, and admitted by the Counsel fur the prosecution, that Thomas Hurst was not her husband, he being convicted of bigamy at these Assizes for marrying her as his second wife. Any thing site might say, theretore had no reference to her husband.) After snide pause, time examination went on. Then you knew of the murder, and gave no intimation of it till March ? —I did nut. Did yen not charge others with this horrid mur der Yes I did, and lam sorry fur it. Who did you first charge I—l cannot recollect his name. You were sworn then, and chargetl that person nit oath, without recollecting his name ?--Nes. Who was the second person whom you charg ed 1-1 never mentioned the ;tame, but said another person was concerned; that other ',eosin) was meant to he myself. tVere you concerned then ?—Yes, too, for I watched..' Did you not charge another person still ?—Yes. Who was that?— Thomas Hurst. Was that the person with whom you were iiviU~ :is your hushatol ?—Yes. Was that alter you accused, these two men ?—Yes. What share-lid you say-Thomas Htirst took in the murder?-1 said, he went down there Was br taken up ?—No, Sir, he was not. This Thomas Hurst was the person whom you called your husband ?—Yes. What you ' said about him, was it false ?—Yes. Ite-examitted by Mr. GURNEY.—Witness said, that site charged those who were not guilty before Mr. Woods. She named no person to Lord Middleton but Chennel and Chal craft. She was taken into custody in consequence of the de- claration which she voluntarily made.—Did you not state' to Mr. Smallpiece, the Under-sheriff, at Kingston, that h man of the name of Scooly, who was once a iervaut of Mr. Chen tiers, was concerned I—Yes. Mr. GURNEY said he was bound to declare, that there was no foundation for this charge, as had been lappet on inquiry. The Court asked, was there any truth in this ?—No ; she was confused, and began to mention the name without any foundation. Had any body suggested this ?—No; it was tilt out of toy own head. What induced you to du this I—She could not teil nobody suggested it to her. The witness nearly fainted away io Court, and was obliged to be support- . ed and to have smelling-bottles applied. Mr. Smallpieee, the Under Sheriff, was then called and examined. He said the witness was in a perturbed state of mind at Kingston. He, went to see her in gaol, where she mentioned what she had now-stated. She was then very wild in her manner and confused in her ideas. She had been sub ject to fits which might have hurt her intellects. She- was not then so collected as she was to- day. He wrote an account of what she said to Lord Middleton, and as far as lie re-col lected, stated at the same time that her declarations were nut to be relied on. The Keeper of the House of Correction, at Kingston, and Mr. Woods, an attorney at Godalthing, deposed to the same effect. The evidence fur the prosecution here closed, and the pri soners were asked what they had to say in their own defence. Chennel gave an .account of the transactions of Monday, which lie partly read from a paper. The account did not vary from what appeared in the evidence and his previous statement. He persisted in saying that be used the same pipe when he returned to the inn as he had used before he left it. He went through the transactions of the night at the Richmond Arms, nearly as given by the master of that house. He mentioned a geoid deal of irrelevant tualter about his conduct on Tuesday morning, which it is unnecessary to repeat, iaalcraft, when asked what he had to say, said he would state his defence if the Jury would give attention. fie like wise gave an account of his conduct on Alunday, stating what he did at the different hours, but brought in many things that had no reference to his exculpation. He delivered - this story, introducing the most minute circumstances, and the most trifling dialogues, without the least stop or embarrass ment, in a firm voice, and with great composure of manner. The only symptom of anxiety-or agitation that appeared was a quivering in his lips which ite. (UMW it [Accessary to wet frequently with AclOri" his tongue.
